screen shots and youtube

[steelaxe]

alright people, ive been taking many screen shots to make a nice youtube video and such, looking for some more plugins to get some good shots, so if you have an ideas, post them here. i have mazzarins Demise, deadfall, and ava4ever so far.

here are the screen shots i have so far. enjoy.

p.s. if anyone thinks they can be good enough to put a decent looking sky on these, let me know.

How are you doing the horizontal view thing?

[Graydon]

It's a custom internal build created specifically for publicizing Myth content. If you're a developer or a keen mapmaker I'm sure you might be able to aquire a copy through Myrd.

Currently I think only Axe and Jon God have this build?

[steelaxe]

yes, that be true. as far as i know, me and jon have it. and as soon as i am able to talk to one of the devs again, i will add another project to this post, as long as what i need to do can be done.

[steelaxe]

here it is people. the latest funky camera build has the ability to specify a sky color. what this means it, i can take shots like this:

so soon i will get to work on an actual video showing the great game we call myth. . and now new screenshots with a sky!!

Anyone else surprised by how good (read: not sucky) those sprites look from that angle?

[Melekor]

Yes, it's quite surprising, given that they were designed for a camera angle ~27 degrees lower.

[Zeph]

myth's highest camera angle is more like 40-45 degrees, but all units are rendered at around 25

[steelaxe]

they do look good. and although the ground cuts off at a point, it still looks rather decent.

the feet though, are the only "funny looking" parts

The feet are funny looking in normal myth

wow!
is there a way to implement that view in-game?
that would rock!

that would rock!

that view was taken right out of the game.

[Pyro]

Not very practical to play in that view anyway.

[carlinho]

aye, as Pyro said, I'm going to pay the randsom for my hard drive with all my greek stuff
just kidding, thanks to Myrd I did this amazing camera angles, to show the fun stuff of the greek stuff (yes I know, I haven't scripted in months...sigh...but did I tell you I hate to script?)

[Jon God]

It looks like another game entirely, I swear, great job, this plugin wasn't on my radar until I saw these screenshots, looking forward to it!
